Chapter 13: The Confrontation of the Strong
Two days after Yang Mubai returned home, the Yang family received a holy decree from the emperor who came to Yang's mansion three days later to receive the provincial empress, and his words were sincere.
Father Yang never expected that the palace had not announced the queen's death for a long time, so he kept this hand. It seems that the emperor turned around and found that Yang Mubai had died strangely, and he wanted to pursue it to the end. Three days later, it will be a bloody storm.
What Yang Mubai thought was that Pei Shengyuan must have felt that he was not dead, and he was willing to chase him out to confirm that he was dead. It's too cruel, a stepping stone, stepping on the top is not enjoyable, you have to step on it in the mud, so that it will never see the light.
Three days later, the emperor really came to the Yang Mansion in person. After the polite words, Pei Sheng looked at Yang Mubai behind Yang Mu's mother. She stood there with her head bowed and trembling. Dressed a little too much, he can't see his figure, and his height is half a head taller than Yang Mubai.
Pei Shengyuan walked towards Yang Mubai and asked Father Yang: "Is she the newly recognized righteous daughter of Lord Guozhang?" ”
Father Yang replied: "Exactly, this is a country woman, I have never seen the world, please forgive your majesty." ”
Seeing that Yang Zi kept her head down, Pei Shengyuan said to her, "Raise your head." ”
Yang Mubai raised his head and closed his eyes. Pei Shengyuan could see her face, but he couldn't see her eyes, and said, "Open your eyes." ”
Yang Mubai still closed his eyes, Pei Shengyuan might recognize these eyes, but he couldn't open them, his face was covered with human skin, he couldn't see it, and his eyes couldn't change. So he pretended to stammer: "Minnu, don't you dare to ...... Straight...... Look...... Tianyan ......"
Seeing her like this, Pei Shengyuan knew that there was no problem with this righteous daughter. Because the height is wrong, the face is not similar at all, and the temperament is completely different, the fat powder on the body is too strong, too vulgar, and there is no Yang Mubai at all. I don't know what Yang's father and Yang's mother like about her, so she thinks she is a righteous daughter, so she gives up.
Then, Pei Shengyuan withdrew from everyone and wanted to talk to Father Yang alone.
In the study. Pei Shengyuan said to Father Yang and said: "Lord Guozhang, I know that Mu Mu is not dead, and I implore Lord Guozhang to hand over Mu Mu to me and let her return to the palace, the queen has been absent for too long, and it is unreasonable." ”
Father Yang sneered: "Your Majesty said that it was funny, four months ago, the little girl let the coffin be carried home. Your royal family is also involved in the funeral. The old man will not make the living alive, let the dead become alive. ”
Pei Shengyuan replied: "Lord Guozhang, I have made a heinous mistake, but I definitely do not want to kill Mu Mu, I implore Lord Guozhang to give me a chance to make up for Mu Mu." ”
Father Yang said coldly: "The little girl is just a white bone now, and she can't enter your royal mausoleum, please read it on the three generations of the old and decrepit Xiangguo, and serve the country for many years, and please also ask Your Majesty to see the old and old bereaved daughter, and the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, don't disturb the little girl's peace after death, after all, the deceased is the greatest." ”
Pei Shengyuan saw Father Yang's resoluteness, and it seemed that he would not compromise. still adheres to the policy of Huairou: "Lord Guozhang, you are my teacher, and I have always respected you. Before, I was sorry for Mu Mu and failed to live up to your expectations. I am also ashamed of Mu Mu, I want to compensate her, I will definitely give her the best in the future, and I will never fail her again, and I implore Lord Guozhang for permission. ”
As an emperor, such a low voice is already his bottom limit.
Father Yang didn't appreciate it, and said: "The little girl is now in Yang's tomb, if Your Majesty has something to say, go to Yang's tomb, give her a glass of wine, and let it go with it." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked out, not wanting to tear his face, Pei Shengyuan knew that Huairou's policy had failed. There is only a desperate bet, and it is hard.
Everyone came to Yang's tomb (Yang's father invited the nearby squires and the resigned officials to come to help), Pei Shengyuan saw Yang Mubai's grave and did not move.
Here, a person came from the crowd, dressed as a shaman, knelt down to Pei Shengyuan and said: "Long live Your Majesty, the hexagram has come to fruition a few days ago, which is caused by the uneasiness of the queen's mother's heroic spirit. ”
Pei Shengyuan asked, "Why did the shaman say this?" The priest pointed his finger and read for a while, and said: "After the death of the queen mother, she should be buried in the royal mausoleum, and the priest of Zhou occupied the wrong hexagram and placed the queen mother wrongly, which led to the flood of locusts, and the priest of Zhou is seriously ill, and the spirit of the queen mother in the sky is not at peace." ”
Father Yang and Yang Mubai were both shocked into a cold sweat, and sighed that Pei Shengyuan was too vicious. After Yang Mubai died, she had to dig her grave, which was obviously to make her unable to live in peace after her death.
Pei Shengyuan then asked: "Then dare to ask the priest, what should I do now?" The priest read his finger again and replied, "Your Majesty, now we can only set things right and move the queen to the royal mausoleum." Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the fortunes of the country. ”
Yang Mubai hated it so much, it was detrimental to the fortunes of the country, this was Pei Shengyuan's reason to use her to dig her grave! Unexpectedly, he Pei Shengyuan would do this. He was miserable in life, and restless in death. Did she dig up his graves for generations in her last life? Do this to her.
Pei Shengyuan's move is too clever and insidious, it was not proposed by him, it was proposed by the priest, this reason is quite sufficient, no one dares to say that he is against it, otherwise the hat that is detrimental to the national fortune will be buckled. In case of an accident, it can be pushed cleanly.
"Slow" At this time, Yang Mu stood up and said coldly: "The royal affairs, the women don't understand, but the dead are the biggest, everyone knows this." The little girl married into the royal family for four years, and after her death, the shaman divined, and the result was not suitable for burial in the royal cemetery, which was detrimental to the national fortune, and our Yang family did not dare to disobey, and transported the little girl back to the Yang family mound for burial. It's only been four months, and your royal family has changed shamans and divination, and you want to dig up her grave and move it to the royal mausoleum, otherwise it will damage the fortune of the country. Whether you change a shaman and come to dig the grave of the little girl once, this is obviously to make her not at peace after death, you are too deceitful. ”
The shaman was so choked that he didn't dare to go out, and the big eunuch beside Pei Shengyuan said, "Old Madam Yang, Your Majesty is sympathetic to your old age and bereavement. But this is related to the national fortune, and it must not be taken lightly, and I ask Mrs. Yang to forgive me. The shaman's divination of the wrong hexagram is to be re-divined. If it's wrong, it's time to set things right. ”
Father Yang said: "Please testify that our Yang family has been the minister of the country for three generations and is loyal to the country. In the end, the old man only loved his daughter, and he did not get glory before he died, and he had to be humiliated many times after his death. If the shaman occupies the wrong hexagram, he will dig up the grave of the little girl and try it out, is there any reason in this world? ”
The eunuch beside Pei Shengyuan said again: "Former Prime Minister Yang, you have been the prime minister of the country for three generations, and you have done your best for the country, and the existing damage to the country must be set right, why are you unwilling, do you resign and ignore the fortunes of the country?" ”
Mother Yang walked to the tomb and said resolutely: "The old body doesn't know what a hexagram is, the old body only knows that the tomb is a little girl's body, and will never allow others to dig her grave and disturb her tranquility." ”
Someone in the crowd began to whisper, saying, "In any world, there is a reason to dig people's graves if there is a wrong hexagram." ”
"Women are weak, but mothers are strong."
"Yes, yes, yes, the daughter of the Yang family was the queen before her death, and the royal family kicked her out of the royal mausoleum for a hexagram, and now it is too much to find a reason to dig her grave."
"yes, how can that be true." "It's just nonsense."
Looking at the trend of public opinion, Father Yang came prepared. Pei Shengyuan was more determined, the tomb must be empty. Then he winked at the eunuchs beside him.
The chief eunuch said: "The shaman also divined day and night for the prosperity of the country, so he occupied the queen's mother, and the queen's mother was not at peace, so he had to move into the royal mausoleum." The royal virtuous monks moved into the royal cemetery, and the monks did it day and night for the queen, so that the queen could log in to Bliss as soon as possible. ”
"The little girl has no blessings, and the old father will never agree to the matter of a thousand graves." Father Yang shouted.
The great eunuch was not to be outdone: "Is Yang Xiangguo trying to resist and disobey?" ”
Father Yang said: "Such a child's play, the old man can't accept it. The little women's cemetery is never allowed to be excavated. It's a father's responsibility. ”
Pei Shengyuan opened his mouth and said, "What if I insist on moving? ”
Father Yang stood in front of the tomb and shouted: "I see who dares to dig the grave of the little girl, I will be polite to whom." ”
The priest stepped forward and said, "For the sake of the country's fortune, we must not delay, please Yang Xiangguo don't stop it." ”
Then the guards stepped forward and formed several rows to separate the Yang family, and another person went to dig Yang Mubai's grave.
Pei Shengyuan only thought that if he dug inside, it would definitely be empty, and he could force Father Yang to hand over at that time. He didn't know the consequences of his impulsiveness.
It didn't take long to dig up the coffin.
The shaman instructed several monks to do the Dharma, and then opened the coffin.
At this point, Zhang Shuo knew that he had been fooled, so he whispered to remind Pei Shengyuan that he had been tricked, and he must not open the coffin. Pei Shengyuan could still listen to it at this time, and he didn't stop it. The monk quickly finished the Dharma and wanted to open the coffin. Zhang Shuo was in a hurry, just waiting for how to deal with the aftermath.
After opening the coffin, I saw a white bone, which was not inferior to the specifications of the royal cemetery. The clothes were also worn by the queen, including jade pendants, all of which were neatly worn.
Pei Shengyuan was dumbfounded, if this was Yang Mubai, then they had been planning for so long, could it be that Yang Mubai really died on the road.
This time, it was Father Yang's turn to perform.
I saw a man who looked like a housekeeper and brought a brocade cloth wrapped in a box. Father Yang took out a sword from the box, and Pei Shengyuan recognized that it was the Shang Fang sword of the former emperor.
Everyone knelt.
Father Yang held Shang Fang's sword and said loudly: "The Yang family is the prime minister of the three dynasties, and the old man and the white-haired man send the black-haired man, and he can't even protect the little girl's grave. This is the sword given by the emperor of the first emperor, which can kill the king and kill the rebels. All the female children are out of the way."
After all the women and children are gone.
Father Yang walked in front of Pei Shengyuan, Pei Shengyuan knew that he would not kill himself, but someone would definitely die, and he would lose face.
Father Yang said: "Your Majesty, the old man grew up watching you, and you are also a student of the old father. I know that you are a wise emperor, but you were instigated by the villains around you, and you were bewitched. Today, the old father wants to clear the king's side. ”
Then he pulled out his sword, cut off the head of the priest, and said to Pei Shengyuan: "This traitor does not learn and has no skills, and he deliberately instigates His Majesty to commit things that disregard human morality, and he should be killed." ”
Then he walked in front of the eunuch, cut off the eunuch's head, and said to Pei Shengyuan: "This traitor has been following His Majesty all the year round, His Majesty does not know how to persuade him when he makes mistakes, and he is even more unforgivable and fanned everywhere, and he should be killed." ”
Then he put away his sword and said, "Rise up, everyman." ”
Then he said to Pei Shengyuan: "Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and you must not listen to the greedy words of villains and act recklessly in the future." The little girl is blessed, let her settle in Yangjiazun. ”
His daughter was so poisoned by him that if he hadn't been the Son of Heaven, he would have had his head cut off long ago. The loyalty, even a bit of foolishness, in his bones, made it impossible for him to attack him.
can only do this, as if warnings, as if provocations, as if retaliatory actions, are telling him: "Even if you are the son of heaven, the old man can still clean you up." Pay attention in the future, the Yang family is not something he can bully at will. ”
Pei Shengyuan could only respond: "It's because I didn't think it through, and I hope that Lord Guozhang will forgive me for my sins, and I will never do it again in the future." ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.
